Kirsten of Dine & Dish is the founder of the Adopt a Blogger program. Bloggers that have been blogging for a year or more are paired with a "newbie" blogger to answer any questions they might have and to help them to enjoy the experience of blogging. I would have loved it if this program were in place when I first started blogging. Not that I didn't find many very helpful and generous bloggers out there willing to answer a question or two about what may seem like the simplest of things for a seasoned blogger. It is a constant learning experience even now.

I was paired with the talented and intuitive N33ma at Recipe Swap. We have been co-bloggers now for over 6 months and I think by now she has become a seasoned blogger. We have in fact adopted each other because she has been teaching me about East Indian cooking with all it's exotic spices and melding of intricate flavours. We are both chicken and potato fanatics so what better partner could I ask for? She has so many delicious foods on her blog you must take the time to visit. This time around I wanted to try her biscuit cinnamon rolls. I love the yeast cream cheese topped cinnamon buns but these biscuits impart that extra bit of something in their own right and are perfect for breakfast...or anytime for that matter!!! She melded two recipes together to create this recipe. I added a third component with a cream cheese drizzle.

Mine didn't turn out as photographically beautiful as N33ma's here but they certainly were a special treat for a Sunday morning!!!

Whisk egg and milk together. Add all at once to the dry ingredients and whirl briefly to combine.Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll or pat into a 9 or 10 inch square. Brush with melted butter. Spread filling over, and roll up like a jelly roll. Cut into 12 slices.

Hey Val how are u doin?Gosh its been so long since I had the chance to visit your blog.Your cinnamom biscuit rolls look good....looking at your yummy glaze I now feel I should have added that too.Also the greek meatballs look so hearty and delish. drool drool

Oh my, those look better than the ones at the bakery! That cream cheese topping sounds and looks so good, I want to just reach out and scoop it up drizzle off the side there. Then I would devour the roll! Yum! PS: What a great idea ... Adopt a Blogger!

Ah I love that you posted about this. Thank you! I'm glad / hope you have both benefited from the adoption. It sounds like it has been successful!I just launched #2 and hope that people can build the same kind of relationships with each other :)

My blog More Than Burnt Toast has been my passion for almost 9 years and has evolved with me over time as I have gained confidence in the kitchen. Follow my travels through Italy and Greece one recipe at a time, upcoming cooking classes at local Okanagan wineries and restaurants, as well as daily experimentation in my own kitchen. Every day we should be excited about what we are eating even if it just means making use of a wonderful find at our local farmers market. I look forward to getting to know you.
